Summary:In 2015, researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Institute of Building Structures and Structural Design (ITKE) at the University of Stuttgart collaborated with the aim of contributing to the current research on bending-active plate structures. They placed particular emphasis on the further development of the formal and structural potential of this relatively new structural system and construction principle. In general, bending-active structures are fascinating because they take advantage of large elastic deformations as a form-giving and self-stabilising strategy. Previous research has mainly focused on a bottom-up form-finding approach, in which typical characteristics of plates or strips were
